Horse mackerel is an excellent source of vitamins A, D and B12. It contains high amounts of EPA and DHA (Omega-3) fatty acids.
According to the FDA and EPA, Atlantic mackerel contain relatively little mercury and it is safe to eat them two or three times a week. Their short lifespan and diet of plankton means they do not accumulate the highly toxic heavy metals found in larger predatory fish such as swordfish.
Horse mackerel is the first fish that those who start fishing in the Marmara and Bosphorus meet. It is a migratory fish with a mouth that can extend forward, thin teeth, large eyes, a deeply forked tail, and a spindle-shaped body. There are also native species living in the Marmara, Aegean and Black Sea regions. They are around 15-20 cm in Marmara and 30 cm in the Aegean. In Marmara, small horse mackerel whose length is less than 10 cm is called Kıraça. In the east of the Black Sea, horse mackerel is the size of a bonito, 50 cm. The type called yellow tail horse mackerel and yellow wing horse mackerel are the most common species in our waters. Horse mackerel descend to Marmara in autumn and start returning to the Black Sea from May. The most delicious time for horse mackerel caught in every season is between November and February. The pan and oven would be great.
With the decrease in Bluefish in the pasture, horse mackerel also started to show itself.
I emerged from Kefken's pink rocks as the morning light dawned. As soon as I turned on the fish finder, large fish began to appear, but they were floating close to the surface. I tried my glow jigs thinking it might be a bluefish, but it didn't eat it. I also prepared the horse mackerel. As soon as I lowered it, the horse mackerel started coming with hard blows.
Then I spent a few hours fishing for bluefish with a long rod. I missed a bluefish when it jumped on the water.
Then I went to our distant pasture to fish for bluefish with a jig, but while I had caught one here, I went to the other pasture, which took 50 minutes, after friends from the other pasture called. I bought some fish from the schools of horse mackerel I saw on the way and continued. When I came to the pasture, no one could buy fish, they said they slaughtered the fish. :)
So I went further out and scanned with a fish finder. There were giant horse mackerel here too, I caught one with a jig. After fishing for a while with my anchor, I went to the pasture in the morning to cast a long fishing rod for the evening water.
But I came back empty handed again.
Since I wasted a lot of time with the long fishing rod, I caught less yellowfin and less horse mackerel.
If you work only on horse mackerel, you can catch a lot of horse mackerel.
